What is the process/method used to define what is fake in this project? Specially when the accused of spreading fake news publishes mostly or entirely political content? I don't want to accuse you of being partial and biased, but I have to. It looks like only right-wing leaning news outlets were included in the project, while left leaning news outlets that publish fake news very often (or have a sensationalist/"brown journalism" tendency) are nowhere to be found...
